Mage T10 legs. In order to get, you not just need the item token, but also you must hand in the T9.5 legs. For the 10.5 legs, you need the 10 legs and the token.

This is the first lvl of the Tier 10 gear. It is available from the Tier Vendor inside the ICC raid instance (both 10 and 25 man). It is purchased with 95 Emblem of Frost. It is also notworthy to mention that the second and third Tier 10 gear lvls (ilvl 264 and ilvl 277) can not be purchased without first obtaining the bottom lvl Tier 10 gear. This is because you upgrade the Tier gear as you progress.

There is no longer an arguement for people holding onto badges to buy the second lvl (ilvl 264) Tier gear since you must have the first lvl (ilvl 251) first. This should make raid leaders very happy. :)

It's worth noting that, unless you're absolutely impoverished, Arcane mages really ought to stay away from these leggings, because the stats are absolute garbage--there is a plethora of +hit cloth in ICC, so much that you'll be struggling to keep your hit down, and crit is a junk stat for Arcane. Instead, opt to get the Leggings of Woven Death crafted. Primordial Saronite prices are going down on most realms as the ICC buff increases and people are running out of things to buy with frost badges.

that would be true, but whether if you want to dish out 5500g+ (roughly the cost of the saronites and the cloths), here is the comparison:

Comparing these 2 sets.

Set 1:Gloves of False Gestures and Bloodmage LeggingsGems:

3x Reckless Ametrine & 1x Purified Dreadstone

Set 2:

Bloodmage Glovesand Leggings of Woven Death

Gems:

2x Cardinal Ruby, 1x Reckless Ametrine, 1x Purified Dreadstone

(this is ignoring the socket bonus on the gloves)

The total stats of set 1:

201 Stamina and Intellect325 Spellpower94 Haste181 Crit80 Hit

Total stats of set 2:

204 Stamina and Intellect357 Spellpower118 Haste160 Crit63 Hit

So the actual difference between the 2 sets are (by going FROM set 1 TO set 2):

3 Stamina and Intellect32 Spellpower24 haste-21 Crit-17 Hit

So yes, you will be paying 5500g, 21 crit and 17 hit for 3 stamina, 3 intellect. 32 Spell power and 24 haste. Up to you whether you decide if it is worth the investment or not.

Should you have been very lucky at VoA 25 drops and have BOTH sanctified legs and gloves, here is the result of the same comparison as the above, but the t10 pieces are now sanctified:

18 Spellpower24 haste-24 Crit-20 Hit

So the differences are quite minor. If your character is gearing up, and if you cant decide whether to get the Leggings of Woven Death or the Bloodmage leggings, here are a few of my opinions:

Save up for the Leggings, but do all of your VoA 10's and 25's everyweek in the meantime

First come first serve. If you manage to get one of these first, use it and ignore the other one.
